DEBUT OF THE DIVA.
Maurice Strakosch Talks About PATHS
First Appearance-A Spunky Girl

First Appearance-A Spunky Girl
@The debut of the diva was, as / may say,
the result of an accident. A concert was
given for charity at the New York Academy
of Music in 1850, and singer Of some celeb
rity in her day, but now forgotten, made her
first appearance By way Of novelty, little
girl years old, the daughter of singing
teacher, was announced TO sing the song made
famous by Jenny Lind, the Echo Song and
an aria from La Sonnambula-' When the
child came upon the stage she was symphony
In black and white-luminous black eyes and
white pantalettes. She was given round Of
applause on her appearance, and she was al
most as self confident as she is now. Her
singing was phenomenal, and she created an
extraordinary sensation, starting her at once
upon her career as the greatest singer of her
age. l arranged for series of concerts In
Baltimore. The first night there were about
hundred persons in the house; the second
twice as many; the sixth concert was given
before an audience of 1000 people, and the
enthusiasm was unbounded. Even in these
early days Patti was just as capricious and
self willed as she has always been. One day
l took her for walk and she saw big wax
doll in shop window. She dropped my hand
and rushed to the window in an ecstasy OF
childish admiration. Nothing would do but
must buy the doll for her, SO promised her
that she should have it. That evening there
was large house, and before her first en-.
trance Patti sent for me.
ala bambolaF 1.-THE DOLL
u told her she should have it in the morn
ing. The tears came into her big, dark eyes,
and she informed me, with stamp of her
little foot, that if the doll were not forthcom-
ing then and there she should not sing. So
the audience was kept waiting while l went
to the shop keepers house, thence to his store,
bought the doll, and hurried with it to the
child. She took it, kissed it with effusion,
dashed the tears from her eyes, and went on
the stage to sing in a style that captivated the
public Ole Bull was travelling with the COM
pany, and one day at dinner the old violinist
refused to give little Patti her modicum Of
champagne-a beverage of which even then
she was very fond. Another child would
have pouted and cried, but Adelina rose and
gave the violinist resonant box on the ear,
much to his CONSERVATION and the amazement
of the guests in the dining room Chicago

A Southern Yankee Civ.

Birmingham has just two characteristics of
the southern tOwn-wide streets and wooden
awnings over the sidewalks. In all other re-
spects she is Yankee-and beyond. There is
the hustle of New York on her main streets.
the push of Chicago in doing business.
Everybody is on the rush, including even the
colored man. If he finds place here to sit
in the sun and sleep somebody will soon walk
all over him without deening an apology
necessary. On the street or in the hotel office
you find the Yankee, the southerner, the Jew,
Englishman, German, Italian Frenchman
and Mongolan, and all are looking in the
same direction-after the mighty dollar.
While the southerner was doubtless here first,
he soon invited his Yankee friend to come
down with his long pocketboolk, and it was
well for both that the invitation was not re-
fused. There has been more money made in
real estate in Birmingham in the last five
years than in any speculation of whatever
nature, north or south.
Though | call it southern Yankee city LET
me do the southerner full justice He has here
shown his hand and it is here we will judge
him. He has exhibited the push, enterprise
and perseverance of the legendary Yankee.
He has invested and reinvested. He has
built and rebuilt He made the town. He
controls its local affairs. He exhibits all the
push and energy that can be demanded, even
with a population half Yankee. The young
southerner has come to the front in Birming-
ham as nowhere else in the south, and by his
public enterprise and business sagacity has
shown the world what is in him. Birming-
ham is young mans town. 1t will continue
to be so for all time to come. He has grown
up under the new order of things and be had
to begin barehanded and to fight the preju-
dices of hundred years. He has done nobly
well-no one could have done better. M.

The Railroad Conductors Corns.

A funny thing came under the observation
of reporter the other day. He was talking
to Conductor Parkinson, when the latter
pulled out a pencil and made railroad note
in his memorandum book This book and the
pencil used by Mr.. Parkinson brought up the
subject of corns in peculiar way. 1t wa;
sharpened with a four sided point instead Of
being round.
whats that for?" asked the reporter.
ooh, nothing; just freak of mine Blu,
look at that finger"
whats the matter With the finger?7
"DoI't you see that corn?7
"Well, how did it come there!'
"By writing on the train"
II don't have any corns on my fingers,
suggested the reporter.
'You don't have to- You see, writing on
the train while it is in motion is no easy job
and to write at all intelligibly you have to
grip the pencil as tight as a wise. Nearly all
of us have these corns"
The conductors right middle finger on the
left side, had slick, fiat, hard corn on it.

The high hats, which have so long annoyed
theatre goers, are doomed, not by the ukase
of any manager, but by decree Of the
French milliner and the action of the ladies
themselves A. the Couldock and other re-
cent matinee performances il has been noticed
that many Of the pretty women took off their
hats as soon as they were seated and held
them in their laps until the play was over
This seemed so sensible and elected such fat
tering comments that the example was
promptly initiated even by ladies who had
not arranged their bair TO be displayed with
out bonnet, and it is likely to be the rule
hereafter. Months ago some cynic like BIZ
Nye declared that as soon as it was under

The Successful LAWYER.

No person is Sopestered by the cranks as q
lawyer whose name appears often in the pub
lie prints in connection with important cases.
Every mail brings him correspondence which
refers to cases OF the most desperate magni,
tude, and the worst of it is that they are
mostly SO cleverly written that one cannot
detect the crankineSS III them. I've had
criminal cases put to me in this way, and il
such cases ever existed they would be the
marvel of the legal world, plots of murder
and other crime which rivaled anything ever
written in fiction. My latest visitor was a
man who wanted TO sue the municipality OF
Quincy, Ills, for $500, 900, for a fracture OF
his leg while walking on plank sidewalk
there. was to get half the damages as my
fee if | secured them, and then he was to
enter similar suits against about ten other
municipalities. That man had been to my
Office about eight years ago on the same
errand. \ person has 10 humor cranks and

ACE OF CATTLE.

There are two ways of determining
the age Of cattle, says the Germantown
Telegraph. In cows rings appear upon
the horns, which serve as a guide,
though not always reliable. II heifer
calves when she is two years old, the
ring will come then; in which case add
one to the number. IL she calves at
three years old, add two. No rings
are found upon bulls; and il oxen have
them, they are very rarely seen under
five years OF age; hence add five 20 the
number. The teeth are neither always
to be depended upon, as the manner OF
treatment and kind of feed viii affect
them. At birth two teeth are to be
seen. and in eighteen months there IS
q set Of broad. well-grown teeth But
from this they begin to grow narrow.
and about six months later the two
middle ones viii drop out, when others
take their places Each following year
two more viii drop out. until the FIRST
teeth are shed: and in this way one
can generally tell the age Of the ami
NAL until il is five years old, when a
new set has been formed. As has
been intimated. there will be some
variations from this, and from six
wears on YOU cannot tell absolutely by
the teeth.

Now that there is a boom in tilt
draining. it is proper TO warn every
reader against making any mistakes
Defeat may come in many ways. You
must buy only thoroughly burned tile
made of the right kind of clay. Every
enc. when struck, should ring clear.
enc soft tile may ruin half a mile oil
ditch. II it erumbles in water or mud
it viii close the ditch effeetually, and
probably nearly all of it will have to
be dug up 10 find the faulty tile. 1t is
very Important that each tile should
be carefully inspected before going into
the diteh. Tile which look and sound
like salmon brick should be discarded
II any are suspected, test them by lay
ing in cold water, in hot water, in lime
water, etc A tile which will soften BY
a weeks test in this way so that it can
be picked to pieces with the fingers must
be discarded. One bad tile may cost
$50 for repairs. This is very import
ant matter.
In digging the ditch and laying the
tile, il IS important that the grade
should be uniform, with no water
locks. IL there be ups and downs,
mud and sand will soon I'LL the tile
and obstruct the passage of the water
Ii viii be serious loss, il time and
money be spent 10 tile drain the farm.
and then have it all ruined by an oc-
casional soft tile or kink in the grade
so that mud viii settle and obStruct
the pipe. And we regret to say that
nearly half of all bitches are ruined in
this way. We do not wish to brighten
farmers so they will do no thing, but
to awaken them to the necessity of in
speeding carefully all tile, and in hay
ing the tile laid with an even and uni
form descent. We propose 20 do our
duty. A thorough test of a tile is to
soak il in rainwater, and then, while
wet, let it freeze solid. When it thaws
out. if it will give out clear ring, it
can be trusted
